Promises to Keep
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Promises to Keep (PTK) is a queer, furry, safe-for-work (16+) visual novel. Please be warned that while entirely safe-for-work, PTK does feature themes of religious & familial trauma, injury, mental illness, minor body horror, and homophobia. Some scenes may not be suitable for individuals with epilepsy (but there are in-game warnings for these scenes). v0.6 is now available (up to Day 3 of every route). This version has around 10 hours of content, featuring an original soundtrack of 20+ songs, 50+ beautifully drawn backgrounds and fully-illustrated CGs, and 100+ unique character sprites. Find us on Twitter and support us on Patreon for early game updates, exclusive content, art raffles, and if you’d like to be featured in PTK as a cameo!
A promise is the greatest, most significant thing anyone can make, in a reality where nothing is permanent. They are guarantees we make to one another, knowing that guarantees are fruitless; their existence contradicts the fleeting, temporary nature of our universe. Yet, they live on in the face of this futility.
So, what happens when the promises you make to yourself go cold? When your promises to others are left empty?
PTK follows the journey of a post-college snow leopard after returning to his childhood home. After a year of wishful thinking, living in the footsteps of his past and the childhood promises he has yet to fulfill, he's convinced there's nothing more for him here. Then, disaster strikes.
Join him in a story of deep self-discovery, reunion, and light-hearted romance as he grows with a vibrant group of individuals brought together by unlikely circumstances.
** Please note that all content is subject to change as the game undergoes further development, and that the current version may not fully represent the final game. **

It's now on Android. Hm. Well I am gonna try
Free 0.7 when?
May 30th
Is there a canon name for the protagonist?
It's Leo! if you don't put in a name at the start of a playthrough, that's the name that will be used.
omg! i didn't know that!
When can version 0.7 be downloaded? expect(｡･ω･｡)
if you are subscribed to the Patreon, you can download it on May 16th. It will be released to the general public on May 30th!
i love rofi :(
I really like it too. He's really cute！＼(^▽^＠)ノ
This VN made my heart feel warm for the first time in a special way, i'm loving the story so far and i'm hyped for the next update, i love rofi and all the characters so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know riiight?!?! :333
:DDD Im not done the game but I already love it!!!
quick question... are we getting abused...? by our mom... or...?
and honestly we do kinda... act a little weird....? like yandere...?
oh wait nvm... its not us... OMG WAIT! is Theo getting abused??!!
Where did you see that in there?
He said he just had an asshole father who drank too much and was too religious. There was no mention of abuse, as I recall.
you know in the part where Theo was driving, he had like purple stuff on his neck? it kinda looked like he was being abused?
I looked and I just noticed it. But it would be illogical if the bruises were seen through the fur (since he and Leo have dense fur), and there they are stacked with spots with a small distance between each other, I do not think that it is exactly bruises, but it is still not clear what it is. He's also got a blue spot under his eye, but it's more like under-eye bags.
I hope everything is progressing well. I wanted to inquire about the development and writing of the game, particularly regarding Rofi's route. If possible, could you provide information on when the next update for the game will be available? Additionally, I would like to request permission to record a series on this game for YouTube and include a link to the game in the description, provided you are comfortable with that. The game is excellent—10/10!
Next update is May 16th for Patreon subscribers, and the public release is May 30th!
Please, feel free to make that youtube series. There are a few out there already. We'd appreciate it if you shout out our patreon ^^ We just ask that people not post playthroughs of content until it has been released publicly. To be fair to our patrons.
In this vn I have already read through Rofi's route but how do I do all the other ones without starting over every time. I am pretty new to visual novels and was wondering the best way to read promises to keep and ones like it. Also inside Rofi's route are there multiple different paths I can take that give me different outcomes that help with the plot of the whole novel. Thank you again for this amazing novel and I have loved it so far!
you can save at the bar scene, when the game makes you pick your route, and then load it after you're done with each route! It's a very useful feature :
Helpp how to stop being obsessed with Hunter
Oh my god i just bearly started and god why do all the cute baby boys in visual novels have to be called Theodore.
(My found sibling is called Theo :'))
(I better hope to get attached to a deferent character cuz otherwise it will feel awkward)
Awwww, nooo, i was so ready for so much more of this, this was such an awsome visual novel, im not the kind that does this kind of stuff but after this I'm now attached to this one, I can't wait for the next part of this
Also I need more of Rofi
Rofi's supposed to get an update veeeryyy soon, I've heard
I've been waiting for like two month or smth for Rofi its been killing me on inside
THEO PLEASE
Peak cinema
I need more of Rofi
Hiii dear developer!👋
First of all, I'm not a spam mailing list or anything like that😐 ahem...
We are a team of ExGames translators. We would like to ask permission to translate your vn's from the original language into russian. A lot of people liked your novel, but due to the language barrier they cannot read it in the original. Our team is translating various furry novels into Russian, and in order for people to be able to touch your work, we are asking for your permission to translate. There are a large number of short stories in the list of translations we have, and we would like your short story to join it.
Our translators receive a nominal payment for translation, since the project is supported by donations from Russian-speaking readers. For translation, we use only publicly available versions of novels and, after translation is completed, we post them on a platform similar to Patreon for a period of 1-2 weeks for those who want to get earlier access to the translation. Subsequently, the translation becomes publicly available and any user can download it for free.
For each publication, we always add a link to the page with the novel, and if necessary, we can insert links to your social networks.
We are also ready to provide all the necessary translation files for their implementation in the official assembly, if you are interested in expanding the number of available languages for reading.
We really hope for a positive decision, as we want to further develop the Russian-speaking furry community.
Thanks for your time! Best regards, ExGames Translation Team❤️❤️
I can't bring myself to play the other routes yet cause I just want to see the more of Ollie's lol.
Needless to say, I look forward to following this VN's progress.
This game is a must play, honestly. I rarely leave comments, yet the feelings i got from the characters and the vibe is just breath-taking. It gives me a very deep nostalgic feel, y'know one of the ones that just makes you sit and think for a while. The characters themselves also feel distinct, which is something i find alot of vns struggle with. ((TLDR: Beautiful art, beautiful characters, beautiful stories. 10/10) This one's gonna stay in my mind for a while thats for sure.)
Additionally and I'm sorry if here isn't the place to ask, but is the soundtrack available anywhere? patreon etc.? I had the main menu open while studying and I'd love to be able to listen to it in an official way. Thank you for making this, hope all is well, and I look forward to seeing more!
cant wait for new update AHHHHHHH
me hungry for rofi, giv mor rofi🥺
I've been waiting so long for him lol
I would like to speak Russian
when V0.7 releases will there be a way to transfer saved data without having to restart? I just started so I don’t know if it’s a mechanic they’ve implemented or if they even can implement it with the engine.
I'm pretty sure the data will be automatically transferred.
When will the next update come out?
The creators said on twitter or patreon that the next update for patreon payers will be late/mid April and late may for non patreon
K thanks.
Tip for any game that you have to wait for patreon tiers before it comes public. Some devs update on other sites same time as first tier gets access to the game. Just type in (adult game “game’s name”) in your search engine. To find what sites the dev updates there game on. Note some p2p are free on these well known sites
I need more of Theo, when will the next day come😭
I NEED THIS GAME IN MORE LANGUAGES LIKE RUSSIAN AND SPANISH, hopefully they will add it in future updates
Amazing game, fantastic, all the paths are great, Theos is so heartbreaking but Rofi is so adorable, All the character designs are perfect, cant wait for the next update.
This is the best shit ever yo fuckin update yo
The sigh i let out when rofis route stopped, can't wait for more :<
i see we meet again! with how many games we have in common i'm gonna end up stalking your profile to find new ones, hehe :3c
Lmao, I have a hard time finding anyones I can get into
so what I'm hearing is:
Lmao, ur silly
who isn't?! ^w^
This is the first visual novel I've played, and it's the first one that's made me cry. 🧍♂️
I identify 101% with Hunter; is story seems so profoundly and terrifyingly similar to mine. I can't wait to see how his story!!!! You have my full support... except on patreon, there is no money yet 😭
I’d say this one is a good one to start on as far as FVNs go. My first was Leo’s route in Echo and it fucked me up for like three whole days
Gosh. That's the first VN I've played and I'm so happy that PTK was the first. It feels so cozy. I'm so excited for the future updates, especially for Rofi 😭, atm I, for some reason, can't use my card on patreon but I'll 100% support you when I'm able to.
This novel is so much more than I expected. I'm glad I took a chance on it, and I look forward to more in the future. It's really great!
fury say les slep togeher an fury mak mi go in fury
The poem this is named after, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, reminds me of when I was a kid and my mom would read me that poem from the book of poems we had. It's a good memory, I was reminded of it while playing this. Thank you for that.
Characters so good it makes me wish polyamory was allowed
Why everyone likes that bad Rofi?
I feel like his whole personality it's fake and forced (not hate to him tho it's just how I feel)
You are so brave, the Rofi fans are feral.
𝗢𝗠𝗚! 𝗜 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗙𝗜 🐶🧡
NONONO NOT THE JAR! NOOOO!
We all need a friend like Rofi
There are visual novels about horror, about the supernatural, about being whisked away to far off lands or other dimensions; and then there's this. One that feels so genuine and real, that one can find themselves getting lost in it. Despite it being short (for now), I am glad that I took the dive to download this.
Thank you.
hunter my beloved <33 this vn is rlly sweet and wholesome, couldnt reccomend more :]
sweetest story, i love rofi and mc together! all other characters are really wholesome too <3 havent been able to catch up with the updates, but i think this was the first game i played on here. i hadn't made an account then. playing this game felt so safe and cozy at a rough time in my life .. i cannot thank you enough for creating it 💗
In the next time, I hope to get a kiss
